#CommunityIsHealing even when we are #TogetherApart

Dear Friends,
   One year ago we gathered to celebrate another year of serving the young adult cancer community in and around Charleston. Things look very different this year, but we are finalizing exciting plans to continue our gala tradition virtually. Please join us via Facebook or Youtube on April 10th at 6pm for a livestream event. We will honor those we serve, celebrate the unique ways we've continued our programming during a pandemic, and share about our plans for the future.
  The week leading up to our gala is Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week. We will be highlighting the unique challenges of this demographic throughout the week, and will have an online auction open for bids from Monday April 5-Saturday April 10th. What a fun way to support our organization and those we serve!
   Thank you for continuing to demonstrate that Community is Healing!

COURAGE CLUB

In February, members of our Courage Club gathered online for a virtual painting class. Some invited family members or friends to paint along with them, and it was a fun evening for all! Thank you to Rebecca Wilson who joined us via Zoom from Maryland to provide instruction and encouragement. 

Our March Courage Club event is a Drive-Thru Easter Bunny Visit for kids and kids at heart. We'll have a little something for our Courage Club members, and invite them to bring their children to see the Easter Bunny from a safe distance. This event is in cooperation with the family of Tommy Henry. Tommy was a member of our Courage Club who passed away in December of 2019. HIs parents have generously reached out to help make this day possible for the families we serve. Courage Club member, please RSVP in the Facebook event or by emailing Katherine@boonproject.org so we know how many to plan on for our fun day!

April Courage Club is our Virtual Gala! We always strive to honor our Courage Club members during our gala, and this year is no different. Courage Club members are asked to submit the form below (also posted in our Facebook group) to help us with some of our (surprise) plans. Save the Date!! April 10 at 6pm!
